KUALA LUMPUR: MMC Corp Bhd’s 70%-owned unit, Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), has become the first container terminal in Malaysia to handle over 12.25 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in a single year in 2024.
This surpassed its previous record of 11.2 million TEUs in 2021, solidifying PTP’s position as Malaysia’s leading and largest transhipment hub.
PTP chairman Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh said the record-breaking performance underscores PTP’s indispensable role in global supply chains and underscores the dedication, resilience and hard work of the PTP team.
“By seamlessly handling such substantial container volumes, we have consistently delivered exceptional services to our valued customers and partners, contributing to Malaysia’s economic growth and reaffirming PTP’s position as one of the world’s most efficient and high-volume container terminals,” he said in a statement yesterday.
PTP chief executive officer Mark Hardiman added that PTP aims to sustain this momentum and achieve even greater milestones in 2025 and beyond. — Bernama
